Angular momentum redistribution and the evolution and morphology of bars
نویسنده
چکیده
Angular momentum exchange is a driving process for the evolution of barred galaxies. Material at resonance in the bar region loses angular momentum which is taken by material at resonance in the outer disc and/or the halo. By losing angular momentum, the bar grows stronger and slows down. This evolution scenario is backed by both analytical calculations and by N-body simulations. The morphology of the bar also depends on the amount of angular momentum exchanged.

Dynamical Evolution of Barred Galaxies
Angular momentum redistribution within barred galaxies drives their dynamical evolution. Angular momentum is emitted mainly by near-resonant material in the bar region and absorbed by resonant material mainly in the outer disc and in the halo. This exchange determines the strength of the bar, the decrease of its pattern speed, as well as its morphology. If the galaxy has also a gaseous componen...
متن کاملBuilding Galactic Disks in Triaxial Dark Matter Halos
We review our recent work on the formation and evolution of disks within triaxial dark matter (DM) halos by means of numerical simulations, including star formation and feedback from stellar evolution. The growing disks are strongly influenced by shapes of DM halos and modify them in turn. Disk parameters are in a broad agreement with those in the local universe. Gas-rich stellar bars grow in t...
متن کاملDensity waves in the inner parts of disk galaxies
Density waves in the central kpc of galaxies, taking the form of spirals, bars and/or lopsided density distributions, are potential actors of the redistribution of angular momentum. They may thus play an important role in the overall evolution of the central structures, not mentioning the possible link with the active/non-active central mass concentration. I present here some evidence for the p...

متن کاملPresupernova Evolution of Rotating Massive Stars I: Numerical Method and Evolution of the Internal Stellar Structure
The evolution of rotating stars with zero-age main sequence (ZAMS) masses in the range 8M⊙ to 25M⊙ is followed through all stages of stable evolution. The initial angular momentum is chosen such that the star’s equatorial rotational velocity on the ZAMS ranges from zero to ∼ 70% of break-up. The stars rotate rigidly on the ZAMS as a consequence of angular momentum redistribution during the pre-...
